IP address help in XP

[shadowagent]

How do you release and renew an IP address in XP? I'm looking for an alternative for "winipcfg" in Win98 where you can do that. Does such a thing exist?

 

[ScottMac]

From a DOS command window:

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

ipconfig /all gives you all the config settings for all recognized network interfaces.

ipconfig by itself shows you the abbreviated configuration

Good Luck

All of what ScottMac said, plus this is a quick way on how to get a DOS command window:

Start -> Run -> cmd (hit enter)

You may already know, but just in case.
